In the past, D&D would dominate this list, but it shares only half of the top 10 spots (and half the spots overall), with three spots going to Pathfinder and the big hit of the year, Dresden Files, taking two spots. I thought the most interesting stuff was towards the bottom, where we see the success of several more FATE based games.

What can't be ignored is the success of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook. It's our number one best seller, despite being a full color, full sized, hardcover selling for $50 at a time when D&D is moving to a softcover digest for $20.
